Friday, March 13

Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

 I adore you, O my God, with the deepest respect of my whole being. I submit my mind and my heart to your holy majesty.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle – Pray for us.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts – Forever! 

Happy Birthday!

Gifts to this fund help cover essential supports such as transportation, groceries, and other everyday necessities so that our young people can remain focused on learning and thriving.

St. John Baptist de La Salle Quote of the Week

O Jesus, let me find all my wealth in you alone. May I seek nothing outside of you in this life or in the next.

Volunteer Opportunity to Benefit Community

The Basilica of St. Mary, in partnership with Nico's Tacos (owned by a current DeLaSalle family) is offering a unique opportunity for De students to earn service hours for their Saturday "Side by Side" event. This event develops community by providing needed services to our most vulnerable neighbors. Students will be helping set up and serve homemade Mexican meals for attendees in Teresa of Calcutta Hall inside the beautiful Basilica.

The event will have about 100-150 community attendees with lived experiences of homelessness. These communities include members of the nearby Spanish speaking Ascension Church, the Jeremiah Program, and St.Vincent de Paul. The Basilica's mission for these events is to provide emergency relief through food and safety, and to offer an opportunity to build community in an environment of comfort, healing, faith, and hope - side by side."

We need about eight student volunteers. Four time slots from 8:30 AM–12:30 PM and four time slots from 9 AM–12 PM. Please contact jenna@nicostacobar.com to sign up for a shift.

Immigrant Support

Many in our community are aware of the increased need of support for immigrants within our community. DeLaSalle is active in support for our immigrant communities and invites you to be engaged in a variety of ways. Complete this Google Form to learn more and express your interest.
